MAX3737 Overview
Key Features
- Lasers can be DC-coupled to the MAX3737 for reduced component count and ease of multirate operation
- The APC loop maintains constant average optical power
- Modulation compensation increases the modulation current in proportion to the bias current
- These control loops combined with thermal compensation maintain a constant optical extinction ratio over temperature and lifetime
- The MAX3737 accepts differential data input signals
- External resistors set the required laser current levels
- The MAX3737 is compliant with the SFF8472 transmitter diagnostic and SFP MSA timing requirements
- The MAX3737 is offered in a 5mm x 5mm 32-pin thin QFN and QFN package and operates over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range
